Parallel Hotport
Gives the printer the ability to handle multiple data streams simultaneously.
It allows the printer to service hosts attached to the serial and parallel ports as
if they were the only interface connected.
Trickle Time
This functionality prevents an attached host from timing out. In order to
support this feature, the port has to be able to accept data from the host and
store it for future use. The selected value is the time that the printer waits
before getting the next byte of data from the host. Set the value to be less
than the host time out value. If the value is too much shorter, the printer fills
up its buffer too fast.

Timeout
This is the value used by the printer to time out from the current port and
check the other ports for data to print. When the printer has not received data
from the host after a certain period of time, it needs to Timeout in order to
service the other ports.
